Adams, Williams urge FG, National Assembly to establish state police

Two prominent Nigerian figures, Gani Adams and former Commander of Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Ishola Williams, are pressing the federal government and the National Assembly to create state police forces. They believe this move is essential for bolstering Nigeria's security framework.

Adams and Williams have renewed their calls for the establishment of state police, emphasizing its importance in the current security climate. Their advocacy suggests a growing consensus among security stakeholders that a decentralized policing system could be more effective in tackling diverse security threats across the country.

The push for state police comes amid ongoing security concerns in various parts of Nigeria. Proponents argue that local law enforcement, being closer to the communities, can respond more effectively to incidents and gather intelligence more efficiently than a centralized federal police force.

We must urgently create a legal framework for the establishment of state police as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s security architecture.
